@msheremet I'm using X11, no desktop environment, the i3 window manager, and am having the screenshot issue.

Based on:

1) Upwork support staff recommending setting XDG_SESSION_TYPE to "x11"

2) my XDG_SESSION_TYPE being set to "tty"

3) gwash saying that Upwork's fix worked for him,

it looks like the Upwork app is checking XDG_SESSION_TYPE before taking screenshots and assuming that the user is running Wayland if it isn't set to "x11". So I think gwash's statement is correct.

@gwash, please don't hurry so much.

The problem is that Upwork assumes you're using Wayland/GNOME3 whenever it can't figure which environment you're running

Do you have an evidence of this statement?

@borisjoffe Yep, that actually worked! With notion WM, and no compositor.

@msheremet The problem is that Upwork assumes you're using Wayland/GNOME3 whenever it can't figure which environment you're running.

@gwash, @borisjoffe, Let's stop for a moment and clarify everything step by step.

You didn't mention you used Wayland. So I had not enough details to reproduce your issue since I've used legacy X11 from the beginning. Please specify the Desktop Environment and Window Manager that causes the problem.

@gwash I thought that too at first, but I'm using X11 as far as I know - my xinitrc is executed and I'm running the i3 window manager (which doesn't run on wayland).

Upwork support recommended running export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 before running upwork in the terminal. I haven't had an opportunity to try that yet, but maybe it would solve the problem since my XDG_SESSION_TYPE is currently set to tty. You could try it out though and post here if it works for you.

Sorry, didn't notice the pinned comment.

@borisjoffe, I have the same problem, and it's related to Arch Linux switching to Wayland. They are working on a fix.

borisjoffe commented on 2019-02-22 08:01 (UTC)

@msheremet I just checked the app logs and system journal and it doesn't look like there's anything relevant in there

msheremet commented on 2019-02-22 05:51 (UTC)

@borisjoffe Are there any related errors in the app logs or system journal?

borisjoffe commented on 2019-02-21 01:00 (UTC)

Hi, for some reason the Upwork app is not able to take screenshots properly - in the app, the screenshot appears blank (gray rectangle) and online, the screenshots are just images that say, "Failed to take screenshot".

The app worked properly on my old computer with Arch Linux. Upwork support claims that Arch Linux isn't supported.

I'm using the latest version, 5.1.0.647-1.

Does anyone have the same issue or know how to fix it?
